This is traditionally the month I celebrate my birthday. \u00a0This year I became 35. \u00a0Also, there was a <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/04\/14\/one-million-views\/\">one million views<\/a> milestone for my blog, according to WordPress.com stats. \u00a0Work-wise, there was <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/04\/12\/the-biggest-merge-ever\/\">the largest git merge ever<\/a>. \u00a0I&#8217;ve also <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/04\/07\/something-that-i-really-enjoyed-the-other-day\/\">discovered something<\/a> that I will enjoy tonight.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/05\/\">May<\/a>. \u00a0I finally got<a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/05\/26\/i-love-you-mate\/\"> fed up with both Gnome 3 and KDE 4<\/a> and switched both my work and home desktop environments to MATE. \u00a0This was the best decision ever &#8211; I&#8217;ve never had a desktop in my way since, yet.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/06\/\">June<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/06\/27\/once-again-its-been-a-very-long-time-since-i-pla\/\">Played Quake 3<\/a> after a really long break. \u00a0Then more work.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/07\/\">July<\/a>. Another business trip to Tel Aviv, Israel. \u00a0A new team member at work and a new area to learn a lot about &#8211; Quality Assurance (QA). \u00a0Pretty much reading and reviewing software all month. \u00a0Work extends even to my personal projects with <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/07\/14\/trying-out-hashbackup-with-amazon-s3\/\">HashBackup and Amazon S3<\/a>. \u00a0The highlight of the month though was <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/08\/01\/team-work-and-communications-workshop\/\">the workshop<\/a> I attended for work. \u00a0Eye-opening!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/08\/\">August<\/a>. \u00a0In terms of this blog&#8217;s archives, there were plenty posts into my <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/category\/music\/\">Music category<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2013\/09\/\">September<\/a>.
